The MMA wants to prove to Meryl Streep that it is a “truly artistic” sport.

When the 67-year-old actress accepted the Cecil D. DeMille award for lifetime achievement at the Golden Globes on Sunday, she told the audience, “Hollywood is crawling with outsiders and foreigners. If you kick ’em all out, you’ll have nothing to watch but football and mixed martial arts, which are not the arts.”

In response, Scott Coker, president of Bellator MMA, extended an invite to Streep in an open letter.

“The global sport of mixed martial arts celebrates male and female athletes from around the world who work years tirelessly honing their craft and -yes- art,” read a portion of Coker’s letter posted to Twitter. “They come from every country and every walk of life. We at Bellator support them and honor their skill.”

He continued, “Please be my guest at the LA Forum on January 21st and you will see that Mixed Martial Arts is truly artistic — which will feature fighters from all over the world competing at a world class level.”
